A small printed cigar label, once pasted to the lid of a tobacco box, shows a woman standing beside a horse among tobacco plants. Cigar makers in the late 1800s and early 1900s commissioned bright color lithographs like this to make their brands stand out on crowded shop shelves, and the name "Pony" tied the product to a friendly, familiar animal. Collectors now value such labels for their color printing, which shows how commercial artists drew on rural scenes to sell tobacco.
